The Insider's Guide To Finance

Lessons Learned from an Eight Figure Exit w. Ryan Tansom


Listen Later

Ryan Tansom is the Co-Founder and CEO of Arkona.

 

After hard work with his family's company, Ryan and his father turned the struggling business around by upgrading our staff, adding services, and implementing new systems. In 2014, the company sold for eight figures.

 

Selling the business helped Ryan find his purpose in life. With that, Arkona was born. The company began with the vision to provide owners with the tools to focus on creating a valuable business with the end in mind.

 

Starting a business from scratch came with its own set of challenges though.

 

In this episode, Ryan explains why entrepreneurs need more niche-specific learning materials. He also explains the difference between your business as a job versus an asset. Entrepreneurs needing to be well-versed in both finance and operations are often discussed with their clients.

 

Ryan goes on to illustrate why we should work towards aligning expectations and reality. He shares why podcasting could be a big win for many businesses, and the books he's read that helped him achieve his success.
